Even if there is just a tiny bit of hope, I'm in. Also, the Marshall Islands negotiator says it all with, "We will not go silently to our watery graves." Still fighting. Thank you for what you do so eloquently.

"It seems that the undue and disproportionate pressure against fossil fuels may reach a tipping point with irreversible consequences [...]". Well, I sure hope so.

How about they take the next year and actually figure out that they could make way more money investing in greener solutions. Money - that's all that matters to them anyway. What gets to me is that they can just make completely unfounded claims like that their "people's prosperity and future [are] at risk" by politically motivated campaigns. Well, maybe their own. In that case it would be a fair point. Then there's "are taking climate change seriously" - that one made me laugh.

Yes to all you said. Thank you for your summary.

I have a question regarding the consensus: why do we need one? Wouldn't it make more sense to work with a majority system (like 2/3) to get things done in this case? This might be very basic, but I don't get it.
